Fleming/Felder Head Start

Head Start is a federal program that promotes the school readiness of children ages birth to 5 years of age from low-income families. This is accomplished by enhancing their cognitive, social, and emotional development.

Wateree Community Actions, Inc. operates three (3) sub-programs within its Head Start Program:

Pre-School (Regular) Head Start Program - serves children 3 & 4 years of age, operates from August-May of each year, and has ten (10) sites located across Clarendon, Kershaw, Lee, and Sumter counties.

Migrant Head Start Program - serves infants, toddlers, and pre-schoolers, operates from June-October of each year, and has two sites located in Clarendon and Florence (Lake City area) counties. Those whose children participate in the Migrant Head Start Program usually migrate from one area to another working in agiculture over a 12-24 month period.
